Senate Finance Chair Morse says the House budget plan has $300 million deficit

On Tuesday, state Sen. Chuck Morse, R-Salem, said the Democratic-led House gave him a budget that was already $300 million in the hole. In a news release, Morse said $250 million of that was overestimating the amount of revenue the state would get from the Medicaid enhancement tax.

“After hearing from 60 state agencies regarding their budget requests and considering the indications regarding revenue estimates we’re getting from Ways and Means, I can tell you flat out, the budget is going to look a whole lot different when it leaves the Senate than it does now,” Morse said.

House Democrats to show “resolve”

There might be a little legislative showboating to watch for today. The Senate passed a resolution, SCR 1, about the use of permits in the White Mountain National Forest.

So they plan offer an amendment to SCR 1 when it comes to the floor Wednesday that will be chock full of the resolutions the Senate refused to take up earlier.
